slt, What version of Mint/Default Pepper are you using? Where is your Mint installed? What url are you trying to watch? Does that url contain the Mint JavaScript include (you can only Watch pages that Mint is already tracking)? Can you Watch any other url? Can you Watch the url using the + link in any other tab of the Pages pane?

Like I said before, unless we can identify the cause of the problem (there is no JavaScript error being generated) I can’t solve the problem.

The problem here is probably a combination of having Mint installed on a subdomain and using https. I seem to recall this combination being the source of some trouble in Firefox, have you tried Watching the page in Safari? Does that work?

Also, how old is your Watch favelet? If it’s from a version of the Default Pepper before 2.05 you may need to delete it and drag a fresh copy onto your browser from your Preferences.

Hi, I also can’t get page watching to work, i click on it but nothing gets watched. I’m using Mint 2.16, FF 3.0rc1. The mint domain is a confluence wiki server with urls like “wiki/a+sample+page”, but this gets stored in mint as “wiki/a sample page” (pluses converted to spaces). I wonder if this is messing up the watch command.

Have you (or your host) recently moved your site (or even just the database) to a new server? If the database was moved from a 32-bit to 64-bit server the checksums Mint uses to retrieve Watched pages would have changed (this would only affect some checksums but not all). This particular cause of the problem would also result in oddities in the Repeat Referrers and Most Popular Pages panes (inconsistent or illogical reporting with the different time filters).

I’ve been fighting with this issue for quite a while now as well. I’ve read all the posts here concerning this issue and my server did indeed move from a 32bit environment to a 64bit one and then back again. I tried changing the column types as suggested (SIGNED for 32bits) and also used the “watched.php” tool that was presented in one of the posts.

When I try to watch one of the pages on my site and then check with the “watched.php” script it will display a negative value for checksum which I suspect is wrong.

So what’s the final word on this problem? Only thing I haven’t tried yet is to empty the “visits” table which I think I saw suggested in one of the posts.
